Russia has again attacked the energy infrastructure

On the night of May 8, Russian troops again attacked Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, hitting facilities in six regions. This was reported by Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko and the head of the Zaporizhzhia RMA Ivan Fedorov.

The attacks occurred in the Poltava, Kirovohrad, Zaporizhia, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk and Vinnytsia regions. The consequences are still being clarified, but energy workers are already working to eliminate them.

The minister called on Ukrainians to use electricity sparingly, especially in the morning and evening, emphasizing that the enemy wants to deprive Ukraine of its ability to generate and transmit electricity.

The head of the Zaporizhzhia RMA reported damage to critical and civil infrastructure. Fedorov emphasized that there was destruction but no victims.
